How Graduate of Dartmouth College
Lives Alone Out West.
A graduate of Dartmouth College is lead
ing the life of a hermit among the hills of
Wyoming. His dwelling is peculiar one
half cabin and half dug-out, but it is full of
choice books and other reminders of civilza-
ton. He lives mainly by hunting, and ap-
pears perfectly contented with his mode of
life. He was a gold hunter in California in
1850. He spent seventeen years in prospect
ing, and his fortieth year found him disap-
pointed and disheartened man so far as
wealth and worldly success were concerned.
The golden treasure was always in sight, but
never within his grasp. As in hundreds of
similar cases, Others reaped rich benefits from
his labors. Then he devoted himself to hunt
ing and trapping in the Sierra, along Snake
river, and finally in Wyoming, where he has
been for the last seven wears. His friends are
dead. He has no love for the world from
which he has so long been an alien, and he
expects to die as he has lived, alone He is
no longer poor, but might live in comfort on
the savings OF the twenty years past-Er

THE NICARAGUA CANAL,
Work Expected to be Commenced on 1T in
the Summer of 1883.

Progress has been made in the Nicaragua
interoceanic canal scheme by the compile
ton of the preliminary surveys, the expense
of which has been met by contributions
from parties in New York, Baltimore, and
Richmond In few weeks eight engineer
ing parties are to be sent out to locate the
exact route ofthe canal and to prepare plans
of the necessary dams and locks, and it is
claimed that excavations will begin next
summer The careful manner in which the
surveys have been made augurs we'll forthe
success of the enterprise. The Eads project
virtually dropped with the death of its
originator. The Panama scheme appears to
be in a hopeless muddle. AS the only
scheme which appears at all practicable,
the progress of the Nicaragua enterprise will
be watched with great interest. Its esti-
mated cost is $65, 900, 600 and the time for its
completion six Years.-EIchanqe
